Does it matter what he thinks about anything?
I happen to like Savage.
I thought he had 8 million listeners? What about Roberts, Are there any conservatives fired up about him? The New Center Right(talk radio and blogs) is the only ones taking about him. Rush has little bits but no callers want to talk about him. I am not as fired up as I would have been for Janet Rogers Brown.
I think those ratings were for New York--where Franken beat out Savage if I'm not mistaken.
I don't think it matters what he's thinking. Savage is an asshole and will be promoting whatever happens to serve his own interests best today.
Hardly.
From coast to coast affiliates continue to rave about Savage's impact on their ratings. Maurice Tunick, Program Director of WOR, New York says, "There are only a few shows we don't want to compete against and neither does our competitor. Michael Savage is right at the top of the list!"
Indeed at WOR, Savage leads the station with a 3.5 share 12+ in "The Big Apple" and a 2.2 share 25/54, 3.2 share 35/64 demo's.
At KRLA, Los Angeles Savage saw significant Winter rating increases, 60% in 25/54, 38% in 35/64, and 33% in the 12+ demo.
In Boston at WRKO Savage's Winter ratings soared.

Not right. Savage's ratings have never been higher.
Source?
I believe that was in NYC only, and those numbers are hotly disputed.
Savage is the #3 radio show in the nation my friend. Right behind SH & Rush.
Savage is number three in the country behind Rush, Hannity, and believe it or not, ahead of Stern. I don't make this stuff up, it is widely reported and backed up by Arbitron ratings. What is more important, for the GOP and DEM koolaide drinkers, is that his ratings are steadily improving while other TSHs are either flat or in decline.
